WORK ON FOUNDATION.

Ten cars of dressed stone arrived yester-
day from Udall for the Judson University.
1t is fine grained sand stone. The quarry
consists of two strata; the upper being near
four feet thick and the lower eight feet
thick The rock is covered by layer of
dirt from one to three feet thick. 1t is pro-
nounced very superior quality of stone for
building purposes. Quite number Of quar-
ries were examined, end it was decided that
the Udall stone was of the best ever brought
to the city.
Contractor j. W. Wells stated yesterday
that the delay in commencing work On lay
ing foundation was caused by the delay in
getting switch facilities to the quarry. The
switch is near one and three fourths miles long
and was not emptied until few days ago.
While the switch was being put down the
contractor with number of hands has been
at the quarry getting out stone The ten
car loads that arrived yesterday were dress
ed at the quarry.
As the shipping facilities are now all that
could be desired there seems to be ne doubt
but that material can be obtained as ra-
pidly as needed. Mr.. Wells will put large
force of hands at work today in laying foun-
dation and from this time on there promises
to be no delay in the work. Stone is ex-
pected to arrive daily.

Prof. E. II. Fritch, president and manager

an ordinary trepidation with the blushing
announcement that little stranger had been
welcomed to the hearts of the new cottage
home on the banks OF the Chisholm. The
happy girl Of few short months ago, them
mother. The sweet solicitude, the incompre-
hensible tenderness and the depths of the new
love which has come to that new home, the
maturity in maternity and its first human
blossom must overflow the heart with a bliss
which she who first clasps such a new treas
ure in her arms can only know. Earth hath
no symbol, no apocalypse of that life and
love of love which lies revealed in the
arms of young mother. The mortal bud
may blossom and the immortal possibilities
and consumations are there indissolubly link
ed with the two lives, the instruments and
authors of this new gem of wondrOus love
and pain. Oh, the involvings Of single hui
man life, of mothers soft beseechings and
teachings, Of a mothers prayers and cares.
In wishing our young friends joy in this new
bond, the hope is expressed that the man
child whose advent we thus haye chronicled,
may live and grow up Fever ending source

kind

WICHITA BOYS ON WHEELS.

At an early hour Sunday morning the
Wichita Wheelmen could be heard bio wing
their horns to awaken their comrades pre-
paratory for run to Wellington, distance
of forty-three miles. At 6:10 a. m. an even
dozen of the brave lads, mounted on their
never firing steeds started southwark; an
hour and twenty minu ties later they rolled
into Derby, where they enjoyed a good
breakfast When about mile out of Derby
bicycle saddle was seen flying in the air.
How it got from under the rider no one
knows, bat he concluded that riding on the
backbone would not be conducive to future
health, and consequently dismoun.ed to re-
adjust that upon which to sit. All went
merry, and few miles further when the
summit OF a hill had been gained,
the situation presenting to the eye
view of country beautiful to behold.
On top of this hill was some of the finest
roads, almost like sandpapered floor, and
one Of the boys was SO delighted at sight Of
it that he began singing white Wings"
When he had reached this part, I'm spread
out my white WINGS" he released his hold on
the handle bar and streached out his arms
flor Wings but no sooner did he this, than he
went over head foremost to examine the soil !:
being perfectly satisfied that it was good
wheat country he discontinued to examine,
also to sing. Mulvane was the next stop,
where little Adams ale was the only slim
ulent to be obtained Between Mulvane and
Belle Plane about four And half miles of
pure unadulterated sand greeted the boys.
Here the G. 0. P. tget off and push wheel
was at premium. When in sight Of We'll
lington they came in contact with team
driven by man who had little too much
Prohibition and imagining he owned the
county refused to give any road until the
wheels and team came in such close proxim-
ty as to cause the horses, that
had more sense than the driver to show a lit
tie respect and turn out of the main track.
Arriving at Wellington at 100 p. m, pro
ceeded to prepare for dinner. The prophet
or of the Arlington can testify to the appe-
.ites of the Wichita wheelmen. After din
ner one of the boys not having had enough
ride for one day, ran from Wellington to
Winfield, making in all distance of 67
miles. The boys all came home on the train
ceiling that the days ride was decided

G.. A X. MEETING.

The post held a meeting last evening and
the committee on transportation made its re-
port, stating that all the roads into the city
had given a rate Of sil95 to St Louis and
return. As a result they were left to choose
from accommodations furnished by the diff
ferent companies. They had received
proposition from the Missouri Prcifc that
they would contract for the cut rate includ-
ing TO make cut equal 20 any other road II
auy further cut should be made The report
was re ectei and the committee discharged.
Ii was decided TO 60 over the road giving
the bsst rate. 1t is thought probable that

CUT OUT AND CLEAR Up.

This has been busy summer in Wichita
so busy that many things have been neglect
ed. Wichita is no tall grass town." so far
as her streets are concerned, but there are
many vacant hooks and unoccupied lots and
and strips and corners where grass and weeds
and sunflowers have grown up unrestrained
and unshorn Tha coming two months will
bring many excursions and hosts OF home
seekers and investors and our authorities or
our people on their own motion ought 70
clean up their surroundings, their alleys
sidewalks and streets. 1t would make big
difference in favor of the city and its at
tractiveness. We don't know how or where
TO begin, but it ought to be done-that is,
what we suggest. and right away.

GERMAN BURNING FLUID.
Company Forming for Its Manufactures
acknowledgements Meeting To-day.

About two weeks ago Mr.. Whentz, of
Button. Indiana, arrived in the city and
| introduced to number of the leading bust
| ness men in the city an enterprise for the
city, which has been judged of merit. and so
as result company is being formed. Mr..
Wheutz is of the Bluffton Manufacturing
company and controls patent by which he
makes the celebrated German burning fluid.
It is made from No. 63 Naphtha, and is said
to be absolutely nonexp'osive. 1t is also
claimed that given amount viii furnish
twenty-five per cent. more heat than an
equal amount Of gasolsne. and that it can be
sold for less money Its Lighting properties
are also said to be uluc Oh greater than that
Of coal oil or gasoline. There are $4,000
gallons of gasoline used in the city every
month, which fact caused the gentlemen in
troduced to the new scheme to conclude that
a factory making product more valuable and
cheaper then gasoline would have poor de-
mand for its output in Wichita alone. The
napthe can be secured from the Standard oil
company or other companies at rate that
those interested thiHk the enterprise will be
very profitable.
1t is probably too mild to state that COM
pany is forming to start the enterprise. 1t
would be more correct to state that it is
formed. At a meeting yesterday morning
the company was fully organized and two
acres OF ground have been bought for the
site of the plant. The ground lies between
the Santa Fe and Rock Island and Thirteenth
and Fourteenth streets A two-story brick
building 40xS0 feet will be erected and the
building and machinery, it is estimated will
cost not less then $4,000 and give employ
ment from the beginning to fourty men.
The company has the exclusive control of
Kansas and Missouri.
The officers and directors Of the company
will probably be named at meeting called
for today. Until that is done some of the
gentlemen interested desire that names of
parties in the city belonging to the company
be not given. Full particulars will probably
be given in tomorrow's issue.
